Set in the year 2052, Wipeout immerses gamers in the high-speed world of anti-gravity racing where players can pilot one of eight hover vehicles through seven undulating, 3D race courses. Each track is peppered with speed boosters as well as power-up icons that reward racers with shields, mines, missiles, shock waves, rockets, and turbo boosts. Gamers can compete in tournaments, single races, time attacks, or with a friend via a link cable. The game also features a throbbing techno soundtrack supplied by electronic producer Cold Storage. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide
